Abstract

The degree of EU funds absorption in Romania is not satisfactory. Nevertheless, there are two important aspects to be underlined. In the first place, the projects implemented generate results that are responsive to the objectives of the sustainable development. Then, every project, regardless of the programme, has also horizontal objectives, such as: sustainable development, equality of sexes etc. Thus, every project aims the respect for the environment and the social and economic development of the Romanian society. This paper presents a quantitative analysis of the national and operational programs that contributed to this goal.
